How Loving Owners Transport Their Dogs

Surely you’ve heard about the time when Mitt Romney and his family were on vacation and they strapped a crate containing their Irish setter, Seamus, to the to top of the car and then set off on a 12-hour trip from Boston to Canada.

Mitt Romney explained the incident to Fox’s Chris Wallace like this:

This is a completely air-tight kennel mounted on the top of our car. He climbed up there regularly, enjoyed himself. He was in a kennel at home a great deal of time as well. We loved the dog. It was where he was comfortable and we had five kids inside the car and my guess is he liked it a lot better in his kennel than he would have liked it inside.”

If it was an air-tight kennel, how could the dog breathe?  Why did the dog “regularly” climb on top of the car?  Whose dog does that?  Why was he in a kennel a “great deal of the time” at home?  Probably because he hadn’t been potty trained and/or trained not to tear stuff up.

Anyway, Mitt, this is how a loving owner transports their dog:
